The Seasons of the Savage refer to the time covered by Rakkety Tam. The events that occur in this time were documented by Melanda MacBurl. Since these events stretched over a winter, a springtime and a summer, the individual seasons may not have been named. The Seasons of the Savage were an exciting time for Redwall Abbey; Gulo the Savage (after whom the seasons are named), pursuing his brother Askor with a horde of 100 vermin, tried to gain entrance into the Abbey, but he was killed by the Abbey Warrior Rakkety Tam MacBurl.
